Setting aside the #OGL brouhaha for a moment, I'd like to point out that #Asian-inspired settings and cultural themes have always been super popular in #RPG #ttRPG circles, but there are very few, if any, materials in this community actually produced by #Asian people who are cultural experts in our various heritages. To date, virtually everything has been produced by cishet white men. #Hasbro, with all its money, has done absolutely nothing to improve this.

The same holds true for #African and #Black American cultural themes in #RPGs #ttRPGs, as well as virtually all of the #GlobalSouth.

It occurs to me that a sufficient amount of time has passed that people might not actually remember or even know about d8 Magazine.

@gcvsa there absolutely needs to be more TTRPG content written by PoC, and this isn’t a refutation of that, but in the interest of supporting Asian creators and an Asian studio, I absolutely love what Centaur Games is doing with their A Thousand Thousand Islands setting and I try to recommend it at pretty much every opportunity I get

@bwebster Good reminder! I saw those a few months ago, I think, but then forgot.
